The Data and Communications Company (DCC) is delivering a once-in-a-generation programme to build a smart metering network for Great Britain.

Perhaps the most ambitious of its kind in the world, the programme will allow energy suppliers to roll out millions of smart electricity and gas meters to homes and small non-domestic properties. Funded by the energy industry, the network will connect smart meters to the business systems of energy suppliers, network operators and other authorised service users.

The smart metering network will help Great Britain become a global leader in smart energy and the development of smart grids.

DCC (a licensed Capita company) is the programme and service integrator working on behalf of the energy industry to establish and operate the data and communications infrastructure that will enable all UK homes to have a smart meter by 2020

The DCC is actively seeking a highly skilled, experienced and motivated Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Manager for the opportunity to join this prestigious programme.

In delivering a successful DCC service the successful candidate will ensure that there is a fully integrated and effective end-to-end Business Continuity Management System framework which reflects the business requirements of Industry Users.

In the role of BCDR Manager you will work closely with DCC suppliers, design and testing teams to ensure that the resilience of DCC’s processes, systems and platforms are properly validated and that the audit discipline is maintained through enduring operations. This is an exciting opportunity in a highly dynamic environment with a multi-layered systems landscape making the task of maintaining BCDR integrity all the more challenging.

The DCC’s infrastructure and supply chain is complex and you will need the strategic ability and leadership credentials to build a strong consensus on the BCDR approach, plus ensure that the BCMS reflects the policy wishes of the UK Regulator. Similarly you will be expected to absorb a significant amount of information to ensure that testing scope is judiciously and efficiently set. You will have an appreciation of the technical aspects of this infrastructure and possess BCDR experience in a similarly scaled environment, ideally within the energy Industry.

Your experience will include:

*

Lead the implementation of the business continuity management system (BCMS) to conform to ISO 22301:2012. *

Operate & manage the BCMS and BCDR plans. *

Work with internal functions and Service Providers to define, maintain and monitor appropriate continuity, resiliency, and recovery solutions to meet BCDR expectations. *

Complete and maintain risk assessments and business impact analysis (BIA) to identify vulnerable areas within the Services’ critical functions. *

Develop, implement, maintain, and oversee implementation of policies, procedures and associated plans for disaster recovery administration and business continuity based on industry-standard best practices (ISO 22301, ISO 27031, BCI good Practice Guidelines). *

Monitor and review Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) for IT systems and services. *

Develop, establish and maintain Disaster Recovery procedures for the restoration of mission critical business applications in the event of catastrophic failure. *

Must be a well-organised and a diligent documenter, able to assemble a comprehensive BCMS structure for a green field business. *

An ability to build trusting relationships with Industry and UK Government Regulators.
